London-based AI security and compliance platform HelmGuard has closed a £5.4 million ($7 million / €6.3 million) Seed funding round co-led by Infinity Ventures and Frontline. Summary of transaction details: Value: £5.4 million ($7 million / €6.3 million) Seed round. Sector: Cybersecurity / DeepTech & AI / RegTech. Advisor: Not disclosed. Key Entities: Target: HelmGuard (HelmGuard Ltd); Co-Lead Investors: Infinity Ventures, Frontline; Co-Investors: FinTech Collective, Stage 2 Capital, Entrepreneur First (EF); Key Founders: John Daley (CEO, ex-Palantir executive), Jack Miller (CTO). Location: London, UK (HQ), establishing new expansion offices in New York and San Francisco. Note: Co-founded by former Palantir executive John Daley and CTO Jack Miller, HelmGuard addresses a fundamental flaw in enterprise governance: legacy compliance platforms document static processes rather than verifying active risks. Traditional third-party risk management relies on manual questionnaires and annual certifications that become obsolete the moment a vendor updates software code or deploys new AI models. HelmGuard replaces manual data gathering with autonomous AI agents that connect directly to source infrastructure, APIs, and code repositories to evaluate security posture continuously. Through its Verified Risk Network, the platform enables continuous agent-to-agent risk assurance—reducing vendor assessment cycles from weeks to minutes. In early commercial rollouts, HelmGuard completed a full risk evaluation of 1,250 third-party counterparties for a US insurance provider in under a week, prompting a full platform migration executed by forward-deployed engineers in under 10 days. The £5.4m Seed round will fund international team expansion, support continuous AI agent governance tools, and scale US operations across new offices in San Francisco and New York.
